Step v Static lunges
« on: 28 November, 2008, 09:09:56 am »
I know how to do each type, what are the different effects if any ? (holding dumbbells and maybe performing bicep curls at the same time)

and what is the effect of placing the front foot on a step ?

Lunges have a greater range of motion and involve the glutes more.  Glutes are good.
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

thanks, my glutes are very good. It's the impact of landing on my heel and jarring my hip that I am worried about along with the risk of losing my balance. I did some slow static lunges with dumbells on Wednesday, had some DOMS in my hams yesterday, does that sound about right ? I want to exercise my hams.
